Filed Nov. 5, 1935 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventor 9' Cay iwle Mawhn ltorneys Patented May 5, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

The present invention relates to toys and will readily be understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the toy embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail section taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an end view of the handle.

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view taken through the two stop loops substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 4 and showing the flexible ring in elevation.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the handle per se.

Figure '7 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 'l---! of Figure 1.

Figure 8 is a perspective view of one of the sleeves in the end of the handle.

Figure 9 is a perspective view of the other one of the sleeves.

Figure 10 is a perspective view of the block with the rod projecting therefrom.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a ring constructed of rope or other suitable flexible material. A pair of circular stops 6 are fixed by pins I in spaced relation to each other on the ring 5. Numeral 8 denotes a rope or other flexible member having a loop 9 at one end circumjacent the ring 5 between the stops 6. Numeral l0 denotes a blockwith a rod projecting therefrom denotedby the numeral I I. The other end of the rope 8 is fixed in the block as indicated at I2. Numeral M denotes a hollow handle in each end of which is fixed a sleeve l5 having a flange l6 fixed to the hollow handle. The rod ll extends through the sleeves so that the handle is rotatable about the rod. On the upper end of the rod there is a nut or equivalent element l! for the purpose of holding the parts assembled.

In use this device is used by whirling the same in a similar manner to a lariat. When used in this manner, all that is necessary is to hold to the handle and make a slight circular motion whereby the ring 5 forms a true circle and it details of construction, size, and the like may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention hereinafter claimed.

What is claimed is:- A toy of the class described comprising a flexible ring, a flexible member attached to one point of the ring, a handle attached to the flexible member and including a rotatable hollow portion to be gripped by the user, and a pair of stops on the ring one on each side of the secondmentioned flexible member.
